The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to be one of the more active teams ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Milwaukee has been looking to upgrade its roster before the deadline ends as it tries to position itself for the postseason.

The Milwaukee Bucks are still viewed as a potential Jimmy Butler suitor, but they reportedly want to make a trade regardless of him.

Depending on how you process any recent Heat news, that latter point feels correct, given some of Butler’s relationships with players on Miami’s roster. That is especially true of younger contributors who have grown to see Butler as a mentor no matter his team-related drama or level of candor.
